99 Prince Nikalas (2/2)
King Harold took a deep breath and recalled Don's face before answering Bella
”Did you see his eyes, Bella?”
”Huh? Whose eyes?”
”Don, Bella.Your Daughter's lover”
Other than Don's eye color which was black, Queen Bella had no idea and seeing Bella's bewildered look on her face King Harold said
”His eyes Bella, they were not the eyes of a man in love”
To Harold's surprise, Queen Bella giggled
”Harold you've being paranoid.No king, no matter how small their kingdom is looked down on by others for no reason”
Something about Don rubbed Harold in a wrong way but no matter how hard he thinks, he could not find any real reason to consider Don as a threat other than a man in love with his daughter
”You are right, it's getting late. Good night” King Harold said and pushed away any doubts about Don in his mind and closed his eyes.
************************************
At this moment Arrora was standing in front of the windows and looking at the beautiful starry night. Normally she would cultivate in nights just like Don and Knight but today the moon and the stars were too beautiful to not appreciate.
The light coming from the moon and millions of stars splashed down their watery white-silver glow onto the distant buildings in the kingdom and the paddy fields, bathing them, illuminating them. And in the distance, the trees were silhouetted against the deep velvety sky.
As she was immersed in the beauty of the night sky, in the distance she saw two figures appearing. One appeared to be a girl as the other person looked like he or she was sitting in a wheelchair but when Arrora looked closely she found the girl was pushing another wheelchair with another person in it.
”Let's see who they are '' seeing the three of them near the castle without being accompanied by the guards, Arrora wanted to check them out to see who they were because they didn't look like servants or soldiers but nobles.
With a deep breath, Arrora jumped down through the windows and landed comfortably on her feet.
”Your royal highness, you should have gone to bed, it's late”
”For god sake Riya, just call me Nick or Nikalas. How many times do I have to tell you?”
The youth in the wheelchair scolded the girl with a smile on his face as the girl shook her head
”You are a prince your royal highness, I can't call you by the name”
The youth in the wheelchair smiled but behind the smile, there was a pain in his eyes
”You are the only one calling me as prince”
”So what is a prince doing in the middle of the night without his guards?”
”Whoa!” the girl almost jumped when she heard the voice from behind her
”You are the girl with that King” the prince said as he turned his wheelchair
”Its King Don, your royal highness” Arrora said with a small curtsy towards the prince
”And you are Adria right?” Riya asked and Arrora realized that Riya's figure vaguely resembled the figure of the one that was watching her and Don previously they were in the empty hall.
”Yes and you were the one watching me and his majesty at the empty hall”
Riya shuddered a bit as Prince Nikalas looked surprised at Riya showing that he had no idea Riya was doing that
Seeing Riya biting her lower lips and standing without being able to answer, Arrora didnt want to torture the poor girl before the prince
”I didn't know her royal highness Darlene have a brother”
”Cousin” Prince Nikalas said
”Oh?”
”Even so it's dangerous for a prince to be here alone without the guards”
Hearing Arrora, Prince didn't say anything as he looked at the woman in the wheelchair beside him with a deep sadness hiding within his eyes.
Now that she noticed, the woman prince looking at seemed to sleep peacefully without noticing anything, the woman looked like she was in her early forties with red hair.
”She's prince Nikalas's mother, her royal highness Vivian Calderon,” Riya said to Arrora.
”Oh then I take my leave in case I wake her highness up”
”Nobody can wake her up” when Arrora turned to leave but she stopped when she heard prince's voice
”Is she alright?”
Riya shook her head while Prince Nikalas clutched Vivian's hand tightly
”Her royal highness is in this unconscious state for years”
”What? what did the healers say?” Arrora asked in shock since the woman before her seemed nothing like she was ill but sleeping peacefully
”They can't find what's happening to her or why she was in this state”
Riya answered but before Arrora could ask anything she saw prince Nikalas drawing something on his mother's forehead as the drawing glowed with blue light before it disappeared
”Runemaster”
